Let's talk about prepping.

So, just a thought or two of possible conspiracies wobbling around in me head.
They say ebola was caused by eating bushmeat. The problem is, people have been eating bush meat for 1,000’s of years. I'm thinking its man made. A test, so to speak to reduce population and or as a weaponized biological. It's spread by sharing body fluids and I imagine it could also be carried by vectors like rodents, bats, or insects. I'm not sure how it affects them. We've recently heard reports that a number of ebola patients escaped the hospitals where they were quarantined and have taken them home and one to a church of 30 or so worshipers. It's now in a town of over 1.2 million. Things are quiet in reference to what's really happening over there. I wonder too, how things of this type of man made 'Nature" may increase the chances of spreading a pandemic? Humid areas breed tiny monsters...Anyway just a few wobbly thoughts...Maybe I've just got too much time on my hands...

On second thoughts, anyone living in colder climates may have better chances due to vermin die off in deep winter...? And better still those living in less densely populated areas like Idaho.

Not saying you’re wrong the government does shady s*** like giving smallpox blankets to native Americas.

They say AIDS was caused by bush meat, but that started in the 1920’s so I seriously doubt that was man-made we still thought your blood boiled if you went to fast in a car just 20 years before.

Hantavirus is incredibly resilient in the desert Southwest. Flu and cold do better in low humidity as do most viruses and bacteria. Mold and fungus are higher humidity and dust on your AC coils fosters mold / mildew growth in summer.

Which is why IAQ is so important. Old house was a cheap builder spec house, we were staying sick and allergies were constant. New house was MY spec. Haven’t been sick from cold or flu in 3 years since we moved in and allergies only act up when the yellow blizzard hits in spring. Fans don’t get 4” of dust on them in a week, we have actually never cleaned our fans.

I had thought differently. Good to know and thanks

Feel free to fact check I don’t believe anything I see on the internet I always quintuple check and even then I could still be wrong.

I usually learn more fact checking than I do from what I am fact checking.

A good list of some common and not so common fruiting trees and bushes along with some helpful information in regards to soil ph, climate zones and so on. Most of these berries are high in antioxidants, rich in vitamins and minerals, cancer fighting properties, etc...I'm growing a number of these myself.

I've not used it or know anything about it, but as a friendly heads up ....
RMATV has a jetboil like stove on sale for $29 for Father's Day. I believe it was earlier in this thread that these were being discussed.

Just wondering why they would paint a nice green scene on the pot when they've NOT aptly named it "Fire Maple"...Just an observation...

Looks very much like the jet boil. Looks to be a cheaper made version in many aspects but if a guy wanted one for just a few occasions and/or it were at high risk of loss or damage this would be a good Avenue for sure. You could have 3 for the price of one jetboil.

Don't worry about @JTW.

He is just a little insecure and has to compare everything!

I’ll send you a tape measure you can keep.

That’s a good price if you wanted to have one for a few meals here and there. I would get one if I did not already know that I have a Jetboil sitting in the closet waiting on my Bday.

Good to see RMAATV getting into selling camping stuff. Be interesting to see what other private brand offerings they bring to the market
